One main focus for the Port of Hamburg Marketing – HHM – Representative Office located in Munich lies in actively supporting various projects and run- ning customer events. This includes development and upgrading projects, such as connecting the Ba- varian chemical triangle to the intermodal terminal in Burghausen, upgrading the intermodal terminal in Hof on the River Saale and establishing a sched- uled rail service between Mannheim and the Port of Lübeck. This also applies to active involvement in ‘boxXpress’ with its partners EUROGATE Intermod- al, TX Logistik and ERS Railways in Singen.
With an import and export volume of more than a million TEU via the Port of Hamburg, the Southern German region, consisting of the federal states of Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg, plus Switzer- land, is one of the most important trading regions for the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. The ex-
tremely intensive cooper- ation has grown down the years.
To be ‘on the ball’ in the marketplace and on devel- opments throughout the southern German region and Switzerland, regular visits were made to indus- trial customers, logistics companies and represent- atives of shipping lines, organizations and associ- ations.
